Jake Owen undergoes hand surgery

Jake Owen is getting his hand fixed. The singer said in a Tweet Tuesday that he was headed in for surgery, and included a picture of him in a car with his fingers bandaged up.

Jake adds that he was trying to avoid it, but since he plays guitar for a living he needed to get it done. Jake doesn't seem to think he'll need a lot of recovery time. He says there's "no way" he's going to miss his appearance at the Country Concert at Hickory Hills Lakes festival in Fort Loramine, Ohio on Thursday, or his shows with Jason Aldean at Boston's Fenway Park on Friday and Saturday.

Jake doesn't say if his hand issue is related to his weekend go-kart accident. He tweeted photos from the emergency room earlier this week, including one of him in a neck brace. The incident occurred Sunday when he was racing against NASCAR stars Kevin Harvick and Clint Boyer.
